Is the United Nations' goal to end poverty by 2015 realistic?

1 Answer

Answer :

I lol’d. Though I support them in their efforts. End as much poverty as you can. But end all of it in 5 years? Highly unlikely. You should see how many African countries are doing today. That’s a lot of poverty to end. Now, I love seeing countries improve. Take Angola for example. A poor African country that just got over a decades-long civil war. Well, Angola now has the fastest growing economy in the world. They went from the 167th most developed country in the world to 143rd in one year. The biggest jump I’ve ever seen a country make in one year. They paved over 3000 miles of highways, they’re building tons of new apartment buildings in the capital city to move people out of slums. It’s amazing. But it takes time.
